Over the course of three albums, American punk band Donovan Wolfington brought a D.I.Y. attitude to their pop-leaning indie rock. The band issued their debut, Stop Breathing (Broken World Media/Community Records), in 2013, signing with Topshelf Records soon thereafter. Their label debut, the five-track EP Scary Stories You Tell in the Dark, arrived in 2014. How to Treat the Ones You Love, released in 2015, featured a hardcore punk song and some heavy metal noise, marking steady creative growth. They toured the U.S. and Europe, building an audience, especially in the grassroots scene of New Orleans. Then, in 2017, they announced a breakup, and recorded Waves, self-released in early 2018. They played their farewell show as part of Community Records' tenth anniversary celebration. ~ Neil Z. Yeung
